Game 76: Atlanta Hawks (36-40) vs Dallas Mavericks (45-30)

Heck of a fine pass by Gafford there from the nail.

That’s not a shooting foul Luka. Stop complaining

Watching the Hawks broadcast tonight, and I never thought I’d say this, but I kind of miss Harper. Obviously, Folowill is one of the best, but this entire broadcast team is just brutal. Even the sideline reporter sucks.

We’re getting Devin Harris tonight.

And AGAIN!

I have no idea what PJ Washington haters are seeing. I think he is just what The Doctor ordered for this team.

It’s a make or miss league.

[GATA]

Dumb to pull Luka. Quick 7-0 run

[The Jom]

17 FTAs for Hawks in first half. Zero in Q3 till now. No wonder they quit scoring.

Hawks did a nice job to stay within shouting distance. Mavs still have work to do.

It doesn’t seem like the Mavericks understand this. I hope they start playing again soon.

[Chicagojk]

First time seeing him but I like what I have seen with Bufkin. Pretty smooth.

[KillerLeft]

Kyrie!!!!

[Chicagojk]

Mavs are sort of lucky. A little sloppy. The tank commander had two really good looks from 3. Things could have gotten rally interesting. Still could.

[KillerLeft]

The Mavericks aren’t playing super well all of a sudden, but then again, Wesley Matthews is in the game. I think this one is safe.

[KillerLeft]

More great defense from PJ Washington.

[Chicagojk]

You know I sort of like a lot of the the hawks players. They don’t even have their young center tonight either. They are going to have some really interesting decisions to make this summer.

[The Jom]

PJ Dirkie

[Branduil]

Scoring 16 points in the 4th is normally really bad but quite acceptable when you only allow 14.

[GATA]

Maxi won that game

[The Jom]

That Jones/Washington/Kleber closing lineup was playoff-ready. Ferocious. Loved it.

[Chicagojk]

Nice win. Offense was off except for a few big runs. Defense fought all game long though. Hawks helped a little with sloppy play of their own. Pj, maxi and Jones all deserve props. Very good defense.

Kings are going to lose. Warriors continue their hot play by being up comfortably at the moment.

If the Kings don't get their poop together, the Lakers and the league via the refs are going to catch up to them and put them in that lower play-in bracket.

Love it that Mavs are winning with their defense. I am not at all worried about offense, that will come when needed.

Agreed. However, we tend to get in trouble when there’s too much dribbling on offense. Yes, it’s nice to be able to play the iso game, but we do a lot better when we keep the ball moving.
